Illustrator rearrangeartboards

Hi,

Im trying to use the AppleScript command “rearrangeartboards” for Illustrator, but I can’t seem to get the syntax to work or locate any examples on the internet other than JavaScript.

Can anyone help with an example, perhaps including the various with properties {documentartboardLayout:gridbyrow}

Many thanks in advance

Graham

Thanks Shane this works great… hoping you would get onboard with this answer!

I had tried this but for some reason they decided to throw out convention:

rearrangeartboards current document {artboardLayout:grid by row, artboardRowsOrCols: 1, artboardSpacing 20.0}

thanks again

FWIW, I think you’re confusing setting properties with calling commands.
